Once someone offered to add a feature they wanted to a library I wrote, but I thought it needed some adjustments, so I made a local branch with their commits, made my adjustments, then merged that branch.

switched. I thought somebody might say something like that. However, to fight pedantry with pedantry, I will also note that the test should be switched; the expected case comes first

beach: check-type signals the error if it has to. It's also shorter, and provides a restart

OK, I'm confused, and I need to prepare lunch for my favorite coauthor, so I'll catch up later.

Line 4 of https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL/pull/217/files has a CHECK-TYPE form, no?

Mondenkind: Aha, now I realise why you and beach were talking about German yesterday.

beach
I would use the Vietnamese word for "beach" but it contains characters not allowed by IRC.

Whoever said that people only examine the small pull requests was unfortunately very right.

re backquote, (check-type code #.(1- char-code-limit)) would be fine if you can guarantee, that this limit won't change between reading the file and calling the function

jackdaniel: Sort of, but someone made a point about this specific instance of bikeshedding once.

Qwnavery: I think that beach licenses his libraries with bsd-2-clause to minimize noise from the vocal anti-gpl crowd ,)

I think that if anything then contributors could be at problem because they've used the code without a license

beach: The problem is there is no license specified in the repository currently, and you have contributors!

yeah but technically the people who wrote code still have copyright over what they wrote, so you can't decide on a license yourself

1 person changed git attributes file, 1 person changed asd file, 1 person changed TeX...so probably very few code authors and i bet most are typos
